Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Five: Zhao Guo Mission
Generally speaking, when the children of princes, generals and ministers marry, they have to appoint professionals long in advance. Of course, the royal family is naturally Si Tianjian.
Let them, who are professionals in Feng Shui, combine the birth dates of two people, and then deduce the best zodiac and auspicious day based on a set of algorithms that normal people cannot understand.
Then set the wedding date and choose a day to get married.
How can he be like the wise king?
Auspicious day?
No auspicious day can delay me from collecting money from Zhou and Zhao!
Alas, even Emperor Chu felt embarrassed!
For that little money, what should we do?
Although Chu State is poor now, it is not so poor that it costs him thousands of taels of silver!
However, according to the wise king, as long as Zhou and Zhao can be disgusted before the war begins, then the mission of this wedding banquet will be completed.
Being able to receive money from Zhou and Zhao is more auspicious than any auspicious day in the zodiac.
…
Xu Qing and his party returned to the capital, and Xiao Ruxue drove the bandits she had tied up to Jingzhao Mansion to convict them.
Zheng Waner felt a little guilty because she was the one who told Xiao Ye about visiting the peach grove this time, and it was her mother who told her about the peach grove here.
But Xiao Ye waved his hand and comforted Zheng Waner that there was no need to blame herself. Originally, she spent a total of ten taels of silver to prepare for this trip, but now she earned another twenty taels by robbing a few robbers.
Has this happened?
No! This is gong!
Xu Qing and Su Qian returned home...
three days later
【Infinite room for imagination, right?】
Near dusk
On the official road, a group of carriages slowly approached the capital of Chu State.
This is the Zhao State Mission.
A long motorcade, dozens of carriages, and fluttering flags rustling in the wind.
At the front of the motorcade, the person riding on the horse turned out to be a woman!
This woman has peach blossom eyes and wears tight-fitting clothes, which perfectly outlines her well-proportioned figure, and her voluptuous waist seems to be difficult to hold.
Although she looks gentle, she has a heroic spirit. When riding a horse, she looks like a female general commanding thousands of troops. She is majestic and heroic.
A moon-white corset dress perfectly sets it off.
Just when the horse was driving to a place, the man leading the horse in front of the mission turned around and looked at the woman on the horse and said: "Sir, deputy envoy, the capital of Chu State is in front of us. Riding horses is strictly prohibited in the capital of Chu State. When we arrive,
This is where you should dismount."
The woman nodded, turned over and dismounted, her movements were very capable.
The woman held the horse with one hand while looking at the capital of the country with the strongest martial arts in the Central Plains.
Although the capital of Chu State is not as prosperous as the capital of Zhao State, it still reveals a majestic look, especially the defensive equipment on the city wall and the magnificent moat in front of it, which all demonstrate that this city is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
.
The envoy of the State of Zhao also got off the carriage. Compared to the young woman who was the deputy envoy, the envoy was a middle-aged man who looked steady and a little fat. Even the loose official uniform could not hide the slight bulge.
My belly feels quite pot-bellied.
The deputy envoy of the Zhou State dared to be so rude, but the Zhao State could not do that. Although the Chu State was plagued by disasters last year and its national strength was greatly reduced, and it may have lost to the Zhou State, it was more than enough to beat their Zhao State.
Because foreigners have repeatedly invaded the border of Zhao State recently, which has restrained most of Zhao's military strength. Fortunately, the Zhenxi Army led by General Long guarded the southwestern border of Zhao State and was able to resist foreign invasion.
Nowadays, how can there be enough military power to pose any threat to Chu State?
However, although there is not enough military power to pose any threat to the Chu State, it is not bad to watch the excitement when the Chu State is in poverty.
When the Zhao State envoy entered the city, they saw that the capital of Chu State was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights everywhere, looking happy and lively.
This made the envoys of Zhao State feel quite flattered. This was not the case in previous years when they were envoys of Zhao State!
In previous years, let alone putting up lanterns and festoons, hanging an extra red lantern would be a sign of respect for you. How could there be such a scene?
Could it be said that Chu State has now reached the point where it needs to please Zhao State?
No way!
According to the news that came back, the Zhou Dynasty envoy did not receive this kind of treatment when he came!
Not only did it not happen, but the Chu State gave them a solid blow. How could they put the Zhao State on the map?
Just as they were thinking wildly, the welcoming officials came to the Zhao delegation, escorted by a group of shadow guards.
The welcoming official looked at the fat envoy Zhao Guozheng who was standing in front and said with a smile: "It is a coincidence that the envoy and your envoy are here, just in time to catch up with the wedding ceremony of the eldest son of our great prince of Chu."
The envoy of the State of Zhao looked at the waiting officials, raised his hands and asked: "Your Majesty? Are you the son of a wise king of your country?"
The welcoming official also bowed his hands and returned the greeting: "Exactly, exactly, the day when your delegation came to my country in Da Chu happened to coincide with the wedding banquet of the prince Xian of my country in Da Chu. It was really ingenious, a double happiness!
"
Well, as expected, they misunderstood. It turned out that it happened to coincide with the wedding of the prince of the great Chu God of War.
Zhao Guozheng smiled and said: "I would like to congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of your country."
The welcoming official also smiled and said: "Same joy! Originally, His Majesty, I was going to hold a cleansing banquet at Honglu Temple to welcome your delegation, but your arrival time was extremely clever, just in time to catch up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
For the wedding banquet, Your Majesty means to move this cleansing banquet to His Highness's wedding banquet, so that we can have a wedding banquet that adds to the happiness, what do you think?"
Zhao Guozheng smiled and said: "Of course it is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
This attitude is much better than the one used by Chu State to welcome Zhou State.
When the Zhou envoys arrived, what did they welcome?
It's a warning!
And what about the arrival of Zhao Guoyi?
That is happiness upon happiness!
Treat it like this and make a judgment!
Invisibly, he was praising the State of Zhao. This just right compliment made the envoys of the State of Zhao feel very comfortable!
The welcoming official stretched out his hand and said, "That's very good. Please come with me. It's still more than an hour before His Highness's wedding banquet starts. Let's go to Honglu Temple to stay first. The delegation is tired from the journey, so why not take a rest in Honglu Temple?"
, and then go to His Highness’s wedding banquet, what do you think?”
Zhao Guozheng smiled and said: "What this gentleman said is reasonable, please lead the way."
The welcoming official nodded and said with a smile: "Please follow me."

Anding Bofu
Xiao Ruxue sat obediently in front of the bronze mirror, swaying her calves gently, along with the white boots she was wearing.
Xiao Ruxue wanted to turn her head and look at Xu Qing behind her, but Xu Qing held her head upright with two big hands: "Don't move around, be careful as I comb your hair down."
When Xiao Ruxue heard this, she didn't dare to move. Her hair fell out and her head became bald! She didn't want to be bald!
Xu Qing took a comb to comb Xiao Ruxue's hair, and finally pulled it into a flying fairy bun.
Xiao Ruxue looked at such a novel but beautiful bun, with a satisfied smile on her face: "This bun is so beautiful! I like this bun!"
Xu Qing put down the comb in his hand and rubbed his sore wrist.
The little girl saw that she had just given her a beautiful bun, so she shouted that she wanted it too.
